A Complete Guide To Keeping A Pet Budgie

    




Budgies/ Parakeets are a favorite for Bird lovers everywhere. These adorable creatures are loved for their affection and because they are social pets. They are not expensive to keep and are easy to care for. 


Budgies are Parakeets, Some Parakeets not Budgies

   Budgies are known as parakeets and many other names too. Budgies are traditionally from Australia. You have to realize that some parakeets are not also budgies. A lot of people sometimes look for parakeets for sale as it is also a trending keyword but don't know that some large parrots are also known as parakeets. Confusing huh. Let me tell you an example. A parrot I love is the Indian Ringneck parakeet. Yes, Parakeet. I hope you guys understand now.


2 Different Types

     When we think of budgies and their habitat we think of the traditional Australian budgies. There are many different colours bred. They are mutated for the pet trade. Just like this, there is another type of budgie bred for pet trade this is called the English budgie. An English budgie was also bred for the pet trade. They are 1-2 inches longer than Australians. They have puffier feathers around their faces and crowns. 


The Natural Color 

   Budgies come in various types of colours. Blue, white, grey, etc. These are all mutations bred for the pet trade. We are all used to seeing other colours in pet shops. The only natural colour of budgies is yellow and green. Don't expect to see blue, white, grey parakeets in the wild. 


Exercise 

  Just as for humans exercise is important for a budgie. They need to exercise their wings as we need to exercise our legs and arms. You need to give free flight time to your budgie every day. Take your budgie out of its budgie cage often. Buy a variety of toys for your budgie and often change them every month. 

  Remember your job is to deliver proper parakeet care.
